About Simon
I've always believed that being a great player and being a great guitar teacher are two completely different skills — and I've spent over 25 years working hard at both.
My studio in Petersham is home to students of all ages and levels, from first-time beginners to working musicians looking to sharpen specific skills. Beyond the studio, I run a YouTube channel with over 27,000 subscribers and 1,000+ free guitar lessons — tutorials that have been watched more than 5.5 million times. If you want tabs and charts to go with them, that's what my Patreon is for.
Session Work & Collaborations
Need a session guitarist in Sydney? I bring 30+ years of live and studio experience across rock, pop, soul, and R&B — along with a lifetime's collection of guitars and gear to match the session. I'm easy to work with, I read the room quickly, and I show up with the right tone.

Want to be taught by a working guitarist?
I'm a full-time professional guitarist and teacher. Alongside private lessons, my guitar instruction reaches thousands of players worldwide through my YouTube channel and Patreon community.
My focus is helping students understand how music actually works on the guitar — so they can move beyond memorising shapes and start playing with real confidence.
Students often work on improvisation and soloing, fretboard knowledge, music theory for guitar, learning songs properly, and structured practice methods.

How Do Lessons Work?
Your lesson, your goals. Every lesson is tailored to what you want to achieve. Bring a list of songs you love, or choose from my prepared repertoire — either way, we work through them week by week while building real technique along the way.
You'll learn the chords, progressions, song structures, and techniques behind the music you care about. I provide tabs and handouts for everything, and you're welcome to record lessons on your phone. If you get stuck between sessions, I'm reachable to help you get back on track.
Sometimes I even create YouTube tutorials off the back of lesson material — so what you learn in the room can end up helping thousands of other players too.
